Face proportions HW

Our homework was to research face proportions.         

In this picture it shows how you can divide the face to make it easier to sketch the parts of the face in the right place.

 This picture shows where you sketch the parts of the face.
The first quarter goes from the top of the head to the hair.
The second measures from the top of the forehead to the middle of the eye.
The third quarter shows half of the eye to the nose and the ears.
The forth shows the lips and the chin.

You can also draw the proportions like this.

 The top quarters have half of the eyes and the ears, the bottom quarters have half of the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the chin.
